South Africa Domestic Season 2024/25

[Prince EWS]

Different game for Smith.

Watched him a few times now. Quite quirky at the crease. Mixture of just good cricketing strokes with an eccentric wrist flick from nowhere every now and then But one thing he knows how to do and that is score runs

Sounds like you're talking about Steve.

Lets hope he can follow his career.

Stuck on 99 for tea....

Stuck on 99 for tea....

And out on 99 after tea..

Interesting to note Hermann has been selected as captain. Only 22 years of age?

That's painful

Just saw his dismissal. A good one from Migael but looks like he thinks he didn't touch it.

Robbie P loves chopping and changing and giving players responsibility. He looks a responsible sort.

Meanwhile in Durban it's dark dark dark as usual

Subrayen spinning a web. Just got his 3rd & Daniel Smith reckons he wasn't out. Game is in the balance there. Should be a good game for a close one.

Interesting this Matthew De Villiers is on debut for the Warriors and 60*

4th player plucked from WP club system in recent months impressing at provincial level after Kaplan, Simetu and Bedja.

To be fair Siya and Kaplan came through youth levels though and siya didn't cut it at province he played Snr but was dropped. Think other 2 are pure club crickets making the grade.

Yeah, I guess it's a bit of both for Simetu and Kaplan but they were lost in the wilderness for quite some time. Club system helped pick them back up.

De Villiers & Bedja also still went to Wynberg but can't remember if they played WP U19s or not.

 

[SeamUp]

Kyle Simmonds has been very good for WP for some time. Lovely action too.

Another slow left-armer.

 

[StephenZA]

I see Jono Bird got a 50 as well. If it wasn't for his captaincy Markram would actually be under huge pressure.

 

[Nintendo]

De swardt with 90 and 5fer to start the season is solid. Really liked the look of him in that NZ series. Shame Forrester is a thing and Mulder seems to have figured out international cricket.

 

[SeamUp]

Been a story of the 90s so far in the first round of the 4-day series.

Jordan Hermann 99 (184)
Matthew De Villiers 94 (134)
Daniel Smith 92 (139)
Ruan de Swardt 92 (160)

Aaron Phangiso 73 (99)
Jono Bird 64 (144)
George Linde 61 (123)
Clyde Fortuin 54 (91)
Gavin Kaplan 51 (114)

Top bowling performances so far

Prenelan Subrayen 36 7/61
Kyle Simmonds 22.3 6/60
Shaun v Berg 20.4 4/61

Ruan de Swardt 20.1 5/52

Beyers Swanepoel 20.4 4/65
Duanne Olivier 21 4/72

Aaron Phangiso 73 (99)

Thats gotta be a pretty dire indictment of the bowling though.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Honestly I was surprised enough to see a 40 year old Phangiso still playing First Class cricket, let alone making runs in it

Western Province also showing how useful it is to have your number 6,7,8 as proper alrounders, Bedja didnt even bowl in the 2nd innings,
